Iceberg "Isle of the Dead" - Southern Ocean
Large, high-quality fine art prints of this Iceberg image are available - please contact me for details.
Southern Ocean, 8th February 2007. Reminds of Isle of the Dead by Bocklin and Homage to Bocklin by Giger.
If you want to see how big this iceberg is, see this image, taken from the other side, with a helicopter for comparison.
Photo made on board the Greenpeace ship Esperanza's expedition to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to find the Japanese whaling fleet

Update for January 2008: Since late December, I've been back in the Antarctic again, defending whales. I'll be putting photos here in a new set.

Impressive icebergs. The horizontal lines in the middle one are rather interesting.

Lovely pic. I hear you had a bit of a rough time with those pesky Japanese whalers - well done!
Dave Walsh Photography (65 months ago | reply)
Hi John. I fear you have Greenpeace confused with Sea Shepherd. Sea Shepherd seem to have encountered the whalers a few days ago. We're just arriving in the area now.

Great shot of iceberg, clouds add drama to it, but they also look unrealistic - have they been manipulated much?

Looks so cool and crisp. I'm suddenly getting thirsty for a glass of ice water.
Dave Walsh Photography (54 months ago | reply)
Hi Aperture - no, they haven't been manipulated much at all - the ooriginal has all those clouds in there. All I've done is increase contrast, saturation, and burn and dodge.
